SK Hynix 16GB DDR4-3200 OEM SODIMM — Direct-from-Manufacturer Laptop Memory (No Box)

The SK Hynix 16GB DDR4-3200 OEM SODIMM (HMA82GS6DJR8N-XN) is a factory-original memory module manufactured directly by SK Hynix — one of the world's top three DRAM fabricators alongside Samsung and Micron. This is the same exact module that Dell, HP, IBM, Lenovo, ASUS, and other major laptop manufacturers source directly from SK Hynix and re-label with their own branded stickers. By skipping the OEM markup, you get factory-original quality at a meaningful discount over branded retail memory. Operating at top JEDEC DDR4 speed of 3200 MT/s with CL22 timings, 1.2V operation, and 2Rx8 dual-rank configuration, this 16GB module is a verified compatible upgrade for premium laptops including Dell XPS 9700/9500, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Extreme Gen 3, Alienware 51M R2, and modern ASUS gaming/business laptops. This unit is shipped without retail packaging — module is OEM bulk-packaged and verified authentic SK Hynix.
